Legacy save games

[Pairy Henis]

Is there a way to upload save games from legacy without the legacy version installed?

No.... (not if you didn't use cloudsync), and that is no longer testable since released.
And of course, confusing 'upload' with migrate, or cloudsaves, but whatever.

I manually moved mine instead. Screw their cloudsave stuff.
sgta files from-
my docs / rockstar games / gtav / profiles / profilename
to
my docs / rockstar games / gtav enhanced / profiles / profilename

Has me wondering if controlled folder access in windows is messing with things since this is technically a new .exe/etc - and people could be forgetting about adding that. Too lazy to mess with it right now though. The various posts by R* 'said' this was possible, and some claim to have done it. Whether or not it used cloudsaves, or actually 'created and moved legacy saves to the correct location' without passing through R*.... who knows. -.-

Some others said they had to try multiple times but again, lazy, not testing it.
edit - yes this could vary if you use onedrive - /barf

TAKE the save files from the original version... there's really nothing complicated about it.
C:\Users\NAME\OneDrive\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA V\Profiles\XXXXXX
C:\Users\NAME\OneDrive\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTAV Enhanced\Profiles\XXXXX

SGTA etc

pffff. Lazy Rockstar.
How hard can it be to let us migrate it via social club or something. One ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ file that simply needs a copy to another location.

i had no copy installed , installed inhanced and migrated have not had gtaL installed in over a year so yes you can migrate you game without installing the L version

Are you talking about multiplayer or singleplayer? Because Rockstar says for the singleplayer you have to upload your save files from the legacy version first. Multiplayer can be transferred directly in the enhanced version.

When I try it says "You have no save games uploaded"
